This material is NSFW (Not Safe For Work). If you’re not over 18, please explore elsewhere.

Welcome back to Horny Hump Day, a regular Wednesday feature! In this blog loop, we hope to provide you with tiny erotic tidbits of the most sexy and sensuous moments in our books. Just 3 sentences. And boy is that hard to do, sometimes....My post for this Wednesday is from my 4th book, A Dom's Dilemma, an erotic BDSM/spanking novel published by Blushing Books. Kelly and Jim, the two main characters, were secondary characters in Arrested by Love. Though this story stands on its own, if you read Arrested by Love, you'll most likely recognize some of the scenes, since we see a little bit of Kyle and Tiffany in this book, too.

For this selection on Horny Hump Day, I'm continuing the scene in A Dom's Dilemma where Jim is making love to Kelly for the first time. Though a little nervous, Kelly has been wanting Jim for a few days, and is eager to have him. However, when Jim unzips his jeans, Kelly begins to grow uncertain. Jim instantly recognizes the wariness in her expression, and even teases her a bit while he carefully gauges the changes in her expression. However, when she tries grabbing at him, he orders, "Hands under your bottom, or I'll tie 'em up," then softens his barked rejection by assuring her they weren't in such a hurry that they had to press things harder or faster than was necessary.

She
gave a small nod, but her passageway remained taut allowing him in no more than
three inches this time before he pulled out, then slowly eased his way back
inside her. For someone who'd been
flooding his mouth a few minutes earlier, she seemed unbelievably tight and a
little on the dry side, which meant she was afraid he intended to hurt
her. The longer he worked with her the
more trouble Jim had understanding how Kyle had missed seeing Kelly's obvious
insecurity.

Jim is into control, not pain, and he wants Kelly to find pleasure in sex, but the Dom in him refuses to let her take the lead. Things happen his way, and on his terms. End of story. Even so, he can't help wondering if there isn't more to her story than she's letting on.

Sneak Peek Sunday is a weekly excerpt hop where each author shares six paragraphs from a published work or a WIP (work in progress).My submission for this week is from my 1st book, Mortal Illusions. A vampire romance published by New Concepts Publishing, Mortal Illusions is currently the first in a series of 3 books. Its sequel, Fatal Desire, is currently under production.

In this excerpt, which is the beginning of the first chapter, Germaine St. Justine has sensed his former lover's pain and visits her in the hospital in an effort to ease her suffering. After some gentle teasing combined with a soothing back rub, he asks who comes nightly to take her blood..

“Peter,” she replied
with a grimace that was nearly audible.
“I don't care much for his visits though, as he's nearly out of
uncharted territory.” She stretched out
her bone-thin arms and Germaine could see the IV needle embedded beneath the
bruised and mottled skin of her left hand.
His gaze traveled the length of both arms, noting similar testaments to
the countless other small invasions her doctors had made to defeat the deadly
enemy that had retaken her body.

Attuned as they were,
her pain had become his own. He would
obliterate all her pain and suffering if he could, but a miracle like that was
beyond even his powers.

“I'm sorry,” he
whispered, knowing his response was inadequate, but she went on as if he hadn't
spoken.

“I
do hope you haven't come to replace Peter.
He's visited me once this evening already, and I don't think he's left
me anything to spare.”

Germaine trailed a
finger from her ear to the hollow of her throat. “Would you begrudge me a small sample of what
you give so freely to Peter?”

Her answering sigh
ended in a throaty purr. “I suppose
not,” she finally managed to answer.
“That is, if you really must--”
Her teasing protest ended in a soft gasp of sensuality that trailed off
into a moan of blatant disappointment when he carefully withdrew after
extracting only a few seconds worth of her blood.

A vampire's blood has many healing properties, and though Germaine can't cure Marguerite, he is able to smooth the pathway she must take for her final journey.

Peter loved Kate with all his being, but that didn't mean he'd tolerate an ultimatum from her.

Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop. My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health. This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.

My submission for this week is from my third spanking romance titled,Acting Lessons.

He was a strict and demanding college professor turned professional director who excelled at giving acting lessons. She was his shy and uncertain former student who became a professional actress under his tutelage. They fell in love, married, and won two Tony Awards before tragedy struck and a simple kiss ripped them apart.

After a six month separation, Peter Thorton decides to take matters into his own hands by making his famous wife, Kate, an offer she wouldn't refuse. Plainly put, he wants her back and he intends to do whatever is necessary to achieve his goal, even if it means giving his stubborn, willful leading lady a daily reminder over his knee that she promised to obey him.

Setup: early in the first chapter, Peter Thorton is attempting to convince his wife, Kate, to give their marriage a second chance by signing her to appear with him in a College Summer Stock production of "Kiss Me Kate." Kate isn't sure she can trust Peter with her heart again, since she believes he's been unfaithful to her, but she's never stopped loving him. And though Domestic Discipline originally played a part in their marriage, their last two years together had them living like polite strangers sharing the same house. Peter realizes he made a mistake in letting Kate do as she pleased, so he's determined to rectify matters. Kate, however, believed he was bluffing, so to prove his point, Peter reminds her what he will do by taking her over his knee.

"Behave,"
Peter commanded, delivering a second swat firmer than the first when Kate continued
to struggle. Fighting him was a losing
battle. All it did was make him more determined
to stress his point. With both hands
captured, she squeezed her eyes shut to check the tears of impotent rage
flowing down her cheeks, clamped her lips together and stilled.

"Don,
would you mind giving us a few minutes?
I have a couple of things I'd like to say to my leading lady in
private."

"I
didn't agree--" she protested, cutting off her own words when his fingers
tightened in preparation for another swat.

"Silence." His third strike was a bit firmer yet, but
all three had been mere warnings compared to what Peter could and would
dispense if he decided she wasn't heeding him.

Kate's is not in an enviable position at this point, even though Peter desires her agreement to his plan.

Happy Horny Hump Day! If you've visited before, you already know this is a regular Wednesday feature on A Writer's Naughty Thoughts. In this blog loop, we hope to provide you with tiny erotic tidbits of the most sexy and sensuous moments in our books. Just 3 sentences. And boy is that hard to do, sometimes....My post for this Wednesday is from my 3rd book, Arrested by Love. A spicy spanking romance published by Blushing Books.

In this scene, Kyle takes his recently engaged fiancee, Tiffany, on a secluded picnic where he plans to give the woman he adores everything she'd been attempting to seduce out of him for the past three years. Her inexperience is a great turn on for him, but it also means he needs to take things far more slowly than his body desires.

When his
shirt was off, Tiffany slipped her hands along his ribs, then ran her tongue over
his nipples. Kyle groaned as the pleasure
from her hot little tongue shot straight to his groin, and he raised his hips
to ease the discomfort caused by the confinement of his trousers.

"Did I
hurt you?" she asked anxiously, and he smiled at her innocence.

An innocent in every sense of the word, Tiffany has wanted Kyle to make love to her for years. She's dreamed of this moment, but now that her dreams are about to come true, she's more than a little uncertain about the physicality of the act.

Peter loved Kate with all his being, but that didn't mean he'd tolerate an ultimatum from her.

For Sneak Peek Sunday we share six paragraphs from a published work or a WIP (work in progress).My submission for this week is from my 5th book, and newest release, Acting Lessons.He was a strict and demanding college professor turned professional director who excelled at giving acting lessons. She was his shy and uncertain former student who became a professional actress under his tutelage. They fell in love, married, and won two Tony Awards before tragedy struck and a simple kiss ripped them apart.

After a six month separation, Peter Thorton decides to take matters into his own hands by making his famous wife, Kate, an offer she wouldn't refuse. Plainly put, he wants her back and he intends to do whatever is necessary to achieve his goal, even if it means giving his stubborn, willful leading lady a daily reminder over his knee that she promised to obey him.

In this scene, which occurs early in the first chapter, Peter Thorton, seated comfortably in her agent's office, is attempting to convince his wife, Kate, to give their marriage a second chance by signing her to appear with him in a College Summer Stock production of "Kiss Me Kate." Kate isn't sure she can trust Peter with her heart again, since she believes he's been unfaithful to her, but she's never stopped loving him. And though Domestic Discipline originally played a part in their marriage, their last two years together had them living like polite strangers sharing the same house. Peter realizes he made a mistake in letting Kate do as she pleased, so he's determined to rectify matters immediately. However, Kate has a few stipulations of her own, which has prompted Peter to inform her she was acting the brat.

Her entire body bristled with the
accusation. "I am not a brat,"
she insisted. "I just don't want to
play opposite you again. From what I've
heard, your temper has grown worse, not better, over the years, and if you're
trying to direct as well as act…. Well,
experience has taught me your fuse gets shorter and shorter as the pressure
increases. I'd simply like to lengthen
the cord to keep things from blowing up.
You need to direct, so why not let someone else play the lead, rather
than over exert yourself?"

"What? And let you stomp your sharp little heels all
over a student? I think not,
darling. I am here because you, my
lovely lady, are a draw. Audiences adore
you. But then, they don't know you as
intimately as I do, so they are taken in by your sweetness and light act. The deal remains as is. You either agree to play opposite me while
I'm directing, or…."

"Or?" she prompted,
regarding him warily.

"Or, I will have to find an
actress who is less contentious and more eager to work with me."

Kate stiffened slightly, then smiled. "I'm sure that won't be at all difficult
for you--darling."

He grinned at her emphasis on the
last word. Though she'd said it with a
smile gracing her lips, he suspected she was silently substituting
"shithead." Suddenly, he looked
forward to the challenge this prickly Kate represented. Another reason he wanted to do this play with
her was because he'd missed her teasing and warm companionship. Despite her brittleness toward him now, he
knew how to soften her. The sex hadn't
been bad either, and he wanted her back.

Hmm. Kate's developed a bit of a temper during their separation, but Peter is fully prepared to handle anything she throws his way, including herself.

She needed his protection, except he insisted on her honest submission first.

Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop. My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health. This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.

My submission for this week is from my first BDSM novel, A Dom's Dilemma, published by Blushing Books.

In this scene, Jim, a former Texan who by day works as a police detective and by night lives and plays as a Dom, is in the Velvet Chains BDSM medical station attempting to give his new submissive, Kelly Franklin, an anal exam. When Kelly goes ballistic, Jim suspects fear, rather than brattiness, is responsible for her reaction. After giving her repeated opportunities to use her safeword, Jim is left with little choice. She is being disrespectful, defiant and acting like a brat, all of which screams punishment to a Dom.

"I hate to see it come to
this," he murmured, bringing his hand down again.

Although the lesson had been light
in number, she'd given him the response he required, so he paused. Listening to her sobs, he felt torn. He hadn't been overly harsh, but he needed to
stay firm. And, since he couldn't let
her get away with calling him names, he flattened his hand on her back. "Twenty more for swearin' and we're
done," he informed her grimly.

"Oooh. Nooo.
I'm sorry. Please don't. Please stop."

"Kelly, you're not listenin' to
me, girl. You deserve much worse than
what I'm givin', which means I expect you to do as a say and count out each
stroke as you take your punishment."

Though Jim can be strict, he likes a bit of spunk in a sub. However, Kelly has crossed a line even he can't permit.

Welcome to Horny Hump Day, a regular Wednesday feature! In this blog loop, we hope to provide you with tiny little tidbits of the most sexy and sensuous moments in our books. Just 3 sentences. The books might be already published, works-in-progress, or even classic literature we think you’ll like.

This post for HHD is from my 2nd book, Deadly Enchantment, a shape-shifting wizard romance published by New Concepts Publishing. The story revolves around a young psychic woman facing off with the dark wizard of Ravenscroft, who she is convinced has brutally slaughtered her sister in a fit of jealous rage on their wedding night.

In this segment, Dominic's deepening feelings for Serena make it more likely his evil brother will target her. Rather than risk losing her for good, Dominic decides to send Serena home directly after the funeral of his sister. Serena doesn't want to leave, but arguing will gain her nothing but his anger and the likelihood of a more speedy departure, so she remains silent. Though Dominic is suspicious of Serena's new found docility, until she is safely away from him, he insists she sleep in his bed. And in Victorian times, that simply wasn't done.

Though Serena had reason to suspect
that Dominic's proximity to her wasn’t entirely necessary for him to protect her,
she had no wish to argue the point.
Her cheeks warming from the intensity of his gaze, she put her robe back
on and walked over to him. He said
nothing for a moment, then swept her up in his arms and kissed her.

Though Dominic believes he is doing what is best for the woman he loves, she has entirely different plans.

I'm over at Ezabet Bishop's Enchantment blog today talking about my newest release "Acting Lessons" and spanking, which seem to go hand in hand, or hand on butt as the case may be. I'm a good old-fashioned girl who goes weak in the knees when a dominant male flexes a little muscle. Want to know what else makes me weak in the knees? Hop on over and check out the interview.

Of course, there's a free excerpt and I believe Erzabet is offering free cyber punch and cookies to any visitors who drop by. Or perhaps a hot beverage if you live in the southern hemisphere. If not, you are always welcome back here where I'll bring out my blender and whip up a frozen Daiquiri for those of us who are on the warm side, and my crock pot is perfect for making spiced wine or cider for anyone who is chilled.

It's Sneak Peek Sunday again and that means I get to share another 6 paragraphs from one of my books. Yay!My submission for this week is from my 4th book, A Dom's Dilemma,a BDSM/spanking novel that is sometimes playful, sometimes serious and sometimes terrifying, published by Blushing Books. Kelly and Jim, the two main characters, were secondary characters in Arrested by Love. Though this story stands on its own, if you read Arrested by Love, you'll most likely recognize some of the scenes, since we see a little bit of Kyle and Tiffany in this book, too.

In this excerpt, near the end of Chapter Thirteen, Kelly Franklin is recovering at Jim's home after receiving an exceptionally harsh and severe paddling administered by her new Dom, Jim Evans. They have only known each other a few days, so they are still learning each other's wants, needs and desires. He has told her unequivocally that there will be no sex between them until he determines she's ready for it. However, now that Kelly's feeling better, her body isn't in total agreement with Jim's edict. He has granted her permission to take a shower, and this is the first time he has left her alone during their three days together. Turned on by the scent of his shampoo, Kelly gets carried away, then realizes she's in deep doo doo.

Kelly
scrambled out of the shower and gazed into the hand-wiped, steam-fogged mirror
as she combed her wet hair, which she'd thoroughly washed with his
shampoo. The scent was making her horny
all over again. Then noticing how her
eyes looked brighter and her cheeks appeared rosier, she winced with the
sinking realization she was royally screwed, and not in a good way. He'd know.
There was no way she could hide it from him, and if she tried to lie,
he'd know that too. She leaned forward
to bump her head against the mirror in frustration and heard a single knock.

With her
stomach jumping into her throat, she opened the door and saw him standing
outside, arms crossed and eyebrow arched.
"Have fun?" he asked silkily.

Though
Kelly was fully prepared to drop onto her knees and beg forgiveness, she gazed
up at him and pleaded with her eyes.
Receiving a higher-arched eyebrow in return, she decided her best
defense was to try to make him laugh. If
he wasn't truly angry with her, then maybe he'd forgive this one little
slip…. "I'm sorry," she
started, and it wasn't a lie, she did feel bad, but…. "It was the sensation of your soap
sliding so smoothly over my body, the smell of your shampoo as it caressed and
cleaned my hair with tiny scrubbing bubbles." Noticing the corner of his mouth twitch as he
struggled to maintain his stern expression, she went on recalling what it was
about him that made her want to melt.
"The scent of your masculine cologne as tiny tendrils--"

"I
don't wear cologne," he interrupted firmly.

She opened
her eyes wide. "That maddening
scent of yours is totally natural, totally you?" She leaned in closer to him. "I so badly want to touch--"

He cut her
off. "I believe you've touched
quite enough for one morning, young lady."
His warm, lean
fingers wrapped around her upper arm. "You're
comin' with me," he added, escorting her to the living room.

Jim has been taking excellent care of her, but Kelly is about to learn there are certain things a proper submissive should never attempt....

He caught her speeding in a school zone and decided she needed to learn even civil disobedience could have very painful consequences.

Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop. My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health. This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.

My submission for this week is from my first spanking novel, Arrested by Love, published by Blushing Books.

In this scene, near the beginning of the book, Kyle, a traffic patrol officer, has pulled over a young woman for speeding in a school zone. Tiffany has been in love with Kyle since she was ten, so this isn't the first time she's faced the strict police officer because of some prank she's pulled. It's not even the first time she's been caught speeding, which means she's spent a fair amount of time over his knees. Even so, Kyle is prepared to let her go with a warning and a ticket until she propositions him. Angry, partly because he's tempted to accept her bribe, Kyle decides to offer her a choice. She can either spend a night in jail, or place herself over his lap and receive a harsh spanking for her reckless driving. It doesn't help matters any when Tiffany compounds her infraction by swearing at him, but he remains resolute to the point he adds swats for her bad language. However, when Tiffany's bravado crumbles, Kyle doesn't hesitate to offer comfort. He may strict and unbending in some things, but when it comes to her comfort and well-being, Tiffany will always come first.

"How
can you be so nice to me one minute, then threaten to beat me black and blue
the next?" she asked with a sniffle.

"Trust
me. You'll be sore, but there won't be a
bruise on you."

Her head
jerked up at that. "You plan to use
that fire in a bottle stuff you have that's masked as a peppermint-scented
lotion on me. Don't you?"

"It'll
prevent any bruising," he told her, resolved to keep that from happening.

"I
think I'd rather be black and blue."

He brushed
another tear from her cheek. "You
might, but I wouldn't. So, you're
overruled on that one, too, I fear."

Hmm. Kyle loves Tiffany, but he takes her safety and obedience seriously, and intends to impress upon her the need for her to do the same--or else.

Welcome to Horny Hump Day, a regular Wednesday feature! In this blog loop, we hope to provide you with tiny little tidbits of the most sexy and sensuous moments in our books. Just 3 sentences. The books might be already published, works-in-progress, or even classic literature we think you’ll like.

This post for HHD is from my 1st book, Mortal Illusions. A vampire romance published by New Concepts Publishing, Mortal Illusions is currently the first in a series of 3 books. Its sequel, Fatal Desire, is currently under production.

This snippet occurs about a third way into the book after Claire Daniels has finally convinced Germaine St. Justine, the two hundred year-old vampire, she hopes will ultimately save her brother's life, to make love. Claire's convinced herself she knows what she's getting into, but she's about to discover she's wrong. Possibly, dead wrong..

She wanted to writhe and scream with
passion, yet she couldn't move.Consumed
by conflicting sensations, she feared and craved each one as she soared while
she plummeted, became whole and replete as she shattered into a thousand
exquisite pieces, burned with an insatiable desire while she shivered
uncontrollably with an inconceivable rapture.All at once, separately, and together.

Nothing was right, yet everything
was wondrously perfect.

Though a vampire's bite can be painful, the pleasure it ultimately brings is pure ecstasy.

Thanks so much for joining us in Horny Hump Day. I hope you enjoyed this nibble, now please check out the other author's fine offerings at the Horny Hump Day blog site.
